If you have noticed an improve
ment in the WORLD lately it can be
accounted for by reason of the alb
sence OF the editor most of the time
for the past three weeks. To give
the typos in the Office a chance to
spread themselves and improve the
paper, he persuaded Dave Bunch,
the boss deer-sIayer, to accompany
him out in the mountains, starting
last Thursday, taking three horses
and ten days supplies, saying they
were going to be out until all their
grub was consumed, if they did not
load their horses with all they could
pack. If any hunters see this article
they will do us (the typos of this
office) kindness by not selling or
giving the said Bunch and Jones any
venison. Let them stand on their
own merits if it takes them until
Christmas to make their load, and it
will save a great deal of prevarica-
tion as to how they killed this and
that deer you sold them.

THE INDIAN TRoUBLE.-The Grow
Indian trouble reached a climax or
the 5th inst, when General Rugel
held conference with several of the
Indian chiefs and demanded the sur.
render of the Indians who fired into
the agency building last September
The wanted offenders failed to ma
terialize, and fight ensued, in which
Corporal Sampson was shot fatally
and Private Malloy wounded. The
Indians were driven into the bush
and their leader, Sword Bearer killed
with five of his followers. The
others excepting about twenty who
escaped, came to the agency and
gave themselves up.

Mr.. VIM. MCFARLAND, of Horseshoe
Bend, was in town the ether day and
informed us that the road that is be-
ing built by subscription from the
Bend to Boise City, is nearly COM
pleted. The road starts at Stones
place and runs up cottonwood and
down Willow creek to Spring Valley,
where it connects with the road to
Boise. Mr.. Mcfarland also says that
Mr.. G. Miner has his sawmill in full
blast saving out a good quality of
lumber, for which he has ready sale
at the mill. Mr.. Miner raised fifty
thousand pounds of potatoes this sea-
son and has the most of them in the
cellar at this time.

A CHICAGO special of Nov. 11th, to
the Statesman, says: The anarchist
Lingg committed suicide in his cell
last night. Four of the seven con.
demned anarchists were hung to-day
at las a. m, Chicago time. None
of their necks were broken and they
all strangled to death. Everything
passed off quietly. Schwab and
Fielden are probably the ones whose
sentences have been committed. Par
sons, Spies, Fischer and Engel were
probably the ones executed.

NATURAL GAS IN 1S27.-In 1927
there lived in Washington county,
Pa, farmer by the name of Nc
Cook, an uncle, says the Pittsburg
Times, of the famous Gen. Anson G..
McCook, the present secretrry of the
United States Senate. McCook's
farm was situated on the old national
pike, eight or ten miles out of Brown
vile. In attempting to dig a we'll a
short distance back from the pike he
struck large flow of natural gas,
This by accident became ignited, and
the fame it gave forth scared the
horses passing on the pike, and many
runaways occurred. This went or
for some time, until the authorities in
that section passed an ordinance stig.
matizing it as nuisance, and com.
pelling McCook to suppress it as
such, which he did. Thus what the
citizens of Pittsburg now consider
the greatest discovery eff the nine
teenth century, just half a century
ago, the citizens of Washington
county considered the greatest nui-
sance.

Au,"g ana constructing the Orepo
Pacific line from South Sant;.n :
eastward The men will probabl
work steadily all winter. The line
now completed and in running ords
lor ninety-six miles east of Yaou;n
o,ty. Trains are running over twelv
lnlles OF track east of Albany, on tn
oregon California, which the Oreeo,
Pacific crosses at that point.
The Santiam river has been BRIDGE,
with temporary bridge and con
structlon trains pass over it dailv
Inc river is fast flowing stream
tributary of the willamette, ane
railroad work across and near;t :,
difficult. A permanent iron bridge !,
being built. Several large iron
cylinders, eight feet in diameter
nave been sunk to bedrock in the
rlverbottom. These will be filled
with concrete, and permanent piers
OF masonary will be constructed
The bridge will be nearly 600 feet
'ong' and will be made in three spans.
TWO OF 2lO feet each, and one of 12O
feet. Beyond the Santiam river the
trend of the road is eas.erly. but with
slight southerly inclination.
For forty miles the grading work
is easy and then the slopes of the
cascade mountains begins. Here
will be the heaviest work of all the
line from Albany to Boise City, the
contemplated present eastern termi.
nus, but this work will not be heavy
compared with most mountain railroad
routes.
In the Cascade range there will be
only two tunnels, one about 45O feet
long, the other 400 feet. The separ.
ate contracts for building these tun-
nels have also been let. Once over
the Cascades, the railroad work across
Oregon will be through a fat and
rolling country where most of the
grading will be simply "scraper work.
Before November, 1888, it is believed
that track will be completed to the
snake river, where the Oregon Short
Line will be crossed. From there to
Boise City is only a short distance.
No secret is made of the intended
JUNCTION at Boise City of the Oregon
'acific with one of the Central or
lineage lines now heading westward.
Many of the directors of the Chicago
Northwestern, whose western ter
minus is now in Central Wyoming,
re also directors of the Oregon Pa
i6c.
Plans have just been completed
or the erection in Yaquina of sub
tantlal orlck and stone edifice for
he general western offices of the CON-
ANY. The main depot will be con-
ected with it. The ground plan will
re 54x190, and several additions NAV
e made. In and about Yaquina, in
Dads and buildings, the company is
aid to have spent already near $5,-
10000. The company's capital is
ow about $20,000,000, nearly all OF
'hich is Eastern. The company's
bling stock now consists of nearly
O0 freight cars, twenty engines and
small passenger equipment. A
umber of firstclass passenger coach
5 are now being made in New York.

"We shall secure one thing by the
Crow outbreak" said an army officer
seven if it should turn out to be an
actual war, which will prove of great
value to the country, and that is in
creased moral support before Con-
gress for plan which has for year
been fully matured by the war de-
partment, and that is greater con-
centration of troops along our north
ern frontier. You know our chief
army officers decided last year that
the greatest strategetic point for a
military post east of the Rocky
Mountains, considering the location
of the center of population, the agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests
to be protected, the rail and water
facilities for transportation, and the
dangers to be encountered from in
vasion, internal dissensions and In
dians, was at Fort Smelling, about
ten miles from St. Paul, on the Min
nesota river. 1t was calculated that
in case of riot in Milwaukee, St. Louis
or Chicago, troops could be thrown
from Fort Smelling into either of
these centers within twenty-four
hours. The Indians we have most to
fear are those on the northern from
tier, for it is evident that the num-
bers of these northern Indians and
their extreme activity, intelligence
and enterprise, renders them far
more formidable than the broken
remnants of tribes in the south.
With regiment at Fort Smelling,
troops could be thrown into Idaho,
Montana and Dakota in from two to
four days by two lines of road. The
proposition to raise Fort Smelling to
twelve-company post has been de-
cided upon, and is recommended by
the Lieutenant-General of the Quar-
termaster-General of the army Con-
gress was asked last session to appro-
pirate $4,000 to begin the work, but
failed to furnish over $4,000, with
which General Holablrd began this
year. If Congress will give him $50
600 each year he can make room for
two additional companies, and thus
the work can be done gradually. The
Crow business will give the matter
a strong impetus.-[N. Y. Sun.

DEMooRAr: Henebe, the escaped
squaw convict, leaving here took the
cars and rode to Blackfoot and re.
turned to the Reservation. She ar.
rived at the penitentiary on Monday
in charge of two Indian policemen
who bore letter to Warden HALEY
stating the circumstance of her return
there, &c. Henebe told that she left
the prison that she might visit her
two children on the reservation. Pub
lie sympathy is with the poor untu-
tored woman, and the regret is gen.
eral that she was found and returned.
There is no doubt that the desire to
see her children alone prompted her
to leave.

died suddenly Wednesday night,
from taking an overdose of morphine

to. that effect. He leaves a colored
wife to mourn his loss. His funeral

/ received quite a valuable suggestion
from q friend Of mine up on the hill last
week. There are ten in their family, and up
in the garnet stand as many wooden boxes,
soap boxes, each with the name of its owner
and the date of its beginning painted upon it.
In this box each keeps anything private and
it is never opened except by himself How l
should like to rummage them! The senti-
mental one would have locks of raven, gold
and soft brown hair, rose buds, gloves, all the
instruments of sweet torture, or relics of past
conquestS. The practical one would there
store things not now available, but which
might become so. Ned, she told me, keeps all
newspapers containing any particular news,
carefully marked That's good idea, too.
What history, years from now, when we
scribblers have handed in our last "copy,"
and are quiet at last with only "Hic jaceL"
to be written, could be compiled from the
words we have sent out, hot from their haste,
in our daily race against timel

Although Sivas is city of some 10000 in
labitants, the capital of the province and
commercial center Of central Asia Minor, it
mas but one newspaper, and it is one only in
lame. 1t is badly printed sheet Of about
swelve by fifteen inches 1t is the official
paper in every sense, being not only the me-
iium for communicating official notices, but
also owned, edited AMI published by the local
government. 1t has no Geographic news, no
,ocal news except of an official character, no
reporters and no advertisements; so it can
hardly be called newspaper. Its publishers
have a novel way of getting subscribers.
Every government official, from the highest
% the lowest is subscriber; not because he
.nts to be, but because he is compelled to.
There is no giving of chromos or induce
ments for clubs" Tks publishers have far
more effective way Of swelling their sub
,cription list than by any such waste
Of money. 1t is very simple way,
too. 1t simply consists in deducting from
all officials salaries, including those Of
ubordnates down to the lowest clerks,
the amount of the annual subscription.
He may take the paper or leave it, But he
has to pay for it, and as there are vast
number of officials, lesser or greater, the edi-
5or has a most enviable position. He need
never fear that terror of impecunious Ameri-
ian editors, the irate subscriber who stalks
INTO the sanctum and issues the terrifying
mandate, stop my paper" because his name
was mentioned or not mentioned, as the case
may be; nor has he any Of the other annoy
ances Of dependence on "our esteemed sub
Scribers," which make life burden to editors
IN less favored lands His is indeed happy
lot, and one to make many harassed western
we" grow green with envy.-BostOn Herald.
